Moelis SA Superday 2018

I have a superday for Moelis coming up and was hoping to get advice on what to expect and where to focus my energy in preparation. Anyone who has been through a Moelis Superday I would really appreciate any feedback!

I don't know why monkeyjacket keeps responding on this thread when the title says that its an interview for summer analysts and he's recruiting for FT...

I had friends who did superdays at Moelis last year for SA and they were a mixed bag. One had a written task and some restructuring stuff while the other didn't have anything like that and wasn't really grilled. As always it really depends on who you interview with, but I would know the basics of restructuring and what happens when a company is distressed. The RX section in the BIWS guide should be enough - they won't expect you to know everything.

 

I did a superday for Moelis. There were 4 interviews 3 of which were 2-on-1 technical interviews, the last interview was with an MD. The technical questions focused on paper LBOs, full accretion/dilution calcs with follow up questions (what interest rate makes it Accretive, which tax rate to use, etc.) and distressed debt and equity value in distressed cases. Most of the questions weren't things that are covered in guides, which they said is intentional. If you've made it to the super day, then it's your offer to lose so just maintain at least the same level of competency as you showed in the phone screen.
